Advancing Mitral Valve Repair Therapy
Mitral Regurgitation
Many people with significant functional mitral regurgitation live with debilitating symptoms for years, while watching their quality-of-life decline.
There is a new procedure that may be a choice for symptomatic patients with significant functional mitral regurgitation that aims to provide a surgical style mitral repair through a percutaneous approach.
Introducing the AMENDTM System
Annuloplasty has served as the foundation of surgical mitral valve repair for decades, being used in more than 95% of repairs, reflecting its established value in achieving reliable and reproducible outcomes.
The Technology behind the AMENDTM System
Annuloplasty System
Surgical-style repair delivered percutaneously.
The AMEND™ Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair (TMVr) Annuloplasty System offers physicians a percutaneous alternative that is designed to deliver a surgical-style repair option for their patients with less pain, faster recovery, and the potential for excellent long-term outcomes.
Annuloplasty System
Engineered with a closed, D-shaped design.
The AMEND System delivers a closed, D-shaped, semi-rigid annuloplasty ring through a catheter in a transseptal approach.
The implant shape is designed to replicate the natural D-shaped mitral anatomy, restoring native valve geometry, while ensuring durable, evenly distributed forces for effective repair.
